Sometimes i go into a book thinking i know what age group it geared for as it was this one i was expecting a middle grade novel but what i got instead was a fantastic young adult novel that has been crafted magnificently.  

I was delighted with how much i love this interesting tale of a hierarchy that uses the saints power to defend their country.  They have made everyone believe that the government are the only ones who can understand the blessings from the saints.  Then we are introduced to Ravin who teaches that this is not the total truth.  Our main character is left with the chance to mold her country into a whole new way of thinking.  Will she take this who new power and give it to everyone with no way to control it or will she step away and teach Russalka who to grow and live without the blessings?

I was on the edge of my seat through out the story and was sure i knew what would happen and who the bad guys were.  But like any good story what you think you know is not always true.  The cliff hanger is perfect and i am eager to see what happens next in this series.
